Definitions
- the present invention relates to a suture collar or sleeve which is received over a lead body of a pacing lead and is utilized in fixing the lead to underlying tissue or to a ligated vein during the implanting of a lead electrode within a heart.
- a surgeon makes an incision at the venous site of choice. Typically entry is made in the right or left cephalic vein or the right external jugular vein near the site chosen for a pocket for the so-called pacer or pacemaker containing a pulse generator. Then the tip electrode of the lead is inserted into the vein, and then into an atrium or ventricle of the heart and fixed in place. After determining that the electrode position is satisfactory, the lead is connected to a pacer also to be implanted.
- a silicone elastomer suture sleeve that is movable on the lead is grasped at the tapered end and slid to a location where it is desired to fasten the lead to tissue or to the ligated vein.
- One or more sutures are first fastened to underlying tissue or to the ligated vein.
- a surgical safety holding device which is adapted to be fixed externally to the body of a patient and fitted with a body tube.
- the device is used for securing the body tube against displacement.
- the device includes two relatively rotatable tubular members telescoped together and defining a bore therein for receiving the body tube.
- the suture collar of the present invention provides a suture collar having a generally cylindrical body and a throughbore through the collar with radially extending slits in the body in the middle portion thereof between the throughbore and the outer surface of the body and extending axially between spaced annular grooves in the body so that when a suture is tied around the collar, the slits will allow the partially separated portions of the middle portion of the body between the slits to move relative to one another so that the middle portion can be tightly fixed or squeezed about a lead body of a pacing lead extending therethrough.
- a suture collar for use with a pacing lead body, said collar comprising a generally cylindrical body having opposite ends and having a throughbore therethrough for receiving a pacing lead body, said cylindrical body including a middle barrel portion and tapering end portions, each of which taper from the barrel portion to one of said ends, said barrel portion being separated from said tapering end portions by first and second suture receiving annular grooves, and said barrel portion having at least two generally longitudinally extending slits therein, each extending generally radially inwardly from the outer surface of said barrel portion to said throughbore to facilitate squeezing of the cylindrical body around a lead body when a suture is tied in one of said grooves.
- a method of securing a suture collar comprising a generally cylindrical body having opposte ends and having a throughbore therethrough for receiving a pacing lead body, said cylindrical body including a middle barrel portion and tapering end portions, each of which taper from the barrel portion to one of said ends, said barrel portion being separated from said tapering end portions by first and second suture receiving annular grooves, and said barrel portion having at least two generally longitudinally extending slits therein, each extending generally radially inwardly from the outer surface of said barrel portion to said throughbore to facilitate squeezing of the barrel portion around a lead body when a suture is tied in one of said grooves, said method including the steps of: sliding the suture collar on a lead body to the place of entry of the lead body into a vein after an electrode tip has been inserted into and properly located within a ventricle or atrium of a heart; tying sutures to the underlying tissue or the ligated vein in the area of the annul
- FIG. 1 is a fragmentary view of the chest of a male showing in phantom the position of a pacing lead and pacer implanted in the male's chest.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the suture collar of the present invention surrounding a lead body of a pacing lead at its entry point into a vein.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the suture collar sutured to a vein as shown in FIG. 2 and is taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the suture collar of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the suture collar of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is an axial sectional view of the suture collar and is taken along line 6'6 of FIG. 5.
- FIG. 7 is a diametrical sectional view of the barrel portion of the suture collar and is taken along line 7--7 of FIG. 5.
- FIG. 8 is a diametrical sectional view through a tapering end portion of the collar shown in FIG. 5 and is taken along line 8--8 of FIG. 5.
- FIG. 1 the outline of the upper torso or chest of a human male 11 wherein there is shown in phantom a pacing lead body 12 extending between the heart 14 and a pacer 16 embedded in a pocket adjacent or under the shoulder of the male 11.
- the lead body 12 of the pacing lead extends between an electrode (not shown) in the heart 14 and the pacer 16 for supplying electrical pulses to the electrode.
- FIG. 1 Also shown in FIG. 1 is a suture collar 20 constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention and situated on the lead body 12 as it enters a vein 22.
- FIG. 2 there is shown the suture collar 20 sutured by sutures 24 and 26 to the ligated vein 22 or tissue (not shown) surrounding same.
- the suture collar 20 is generally cylindrical in shape and has a central barrel portion 28 separated from tapering end portion 30 and 32 by annular grooves 34 and 36 in the collar 20 in which are received the sutures 24 and 26.
- the barrel portion 28 has four equally radially spaced, i.e., at approximately 90°, and axially extending, slits 41, 42, 43 and 44 as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 7.
- These axial slits 41-44 extend radially inwardly from the outer cylindrical surface of the barrel portion 28 to a throughbore 46 extending through the suture collar 20 as shown in FIGS. 2, 6 and 7.
- these slits extend through the suture collar 20 in the area between the bottom 54 of the groove 34 to the throughbore 46 and from the bottom 56 of the groove 36 to the throughbore 46.
- the tapering end portions 30 and 32 taper from larger in diameter sections 60 and 62 having substantially the same diameter as the barrel portion 28 to a thinner sleeve end section 70 or 72.
- a central portion 76 of the throughbore 46 will be reduced in cross section or squeezed inwardly when a suture 24 or 26 is tied about the collar 20 in each of the grooves 30 and 32.
- the four slits 41-44 permit quarter portions 81, 82, 83 and 84 (FIG. 7) in barrel portion 28 between the slots 41-44 to move inwardly so as to reduce the diameter of the portion 76 of the throughbore 46 through the barrel portion 28 when the sutures 24 and 26 are tied to squeeze the barrel portion sections 81-84 against the lead body 12.
- the suture collar 20 is tightly fixed onto the lead body 12 so that it is prevented from axial or longitudinal movement on the lead body 12 at its point of entry into the vein 22.
- the slits 41-44 are very thin in thickness such that the adjacent barrel portion 20 quarter sections 81-84 are usually in slidable face to face contact with each other and the slits 41-44 are shown in the drawings as being larger in cross section only for the purpose of illustrating the invention disclosed herein.
- the suture collar 20 is preferably made of a silicone elastomer material.
- an electrode tip (not shown) at the distal end of the pacing lead body 12 is inserted into the vein 22 and then into the heart 14.
- the suture collar 20 is moved along the lead body 12 to the point of entry of the lead body 12 into the vein 22. Then, sutures 24 and 26 are secured in place within the underlying tissue (FIG. 3) or around a ligated vein 22.
- each of the sutures 24 and 26 is tied tightly around the suture collar 20 in the grooves 30 and 32 thereby to compress and squeeze the quarter sections 81-84 of the barrel portion 28 tightly against the lead body 12 so that the suture collar 20 is tightly secured to the lead body 12.
